A focused group discussion designed to explore sensory experiences, accessibility barriers, and inclusive interaction patterns in games through direct dialogue with disabled gamers and relevant stakeholders. This session is intended as an early collaborative step to help initiate more grounded accessibility practices within the Indonesian game industry. Despite Indonesia being one of the largest gaming markets in Southeast Asia, accessible gaming practices are still rarely discussed or implemented within local studio workflows. In many cases, the topic remains limited to academic research or student theses, while studios and developers may still be unsure where to begin. Although global accessibility guidelines for games already exist, building meaningful implementation in Indonesia requires direct user validation and contextual understanding from players who experience barriers firsthand. This FGD aims to become one of those starting points — creating space for studios, developers, communities, and disabled gamers to exchange perspectives and identify practical accessibility priorities together. Insights from the discussion will be compiled into an open-source repository to support future accessibility practices, experimentation, and learning within Indonesia’s gaming ecosystem. Invited Indonesian game studio, game community, game professionals and media are welcome to observe. Shall you part of aforementioned segments and willing to observe during the FGD, please reach out to event@suarise.com.

At Coles, we’re passionate about ensuring our digital experiences are accessible for all our customers. This year, we’re hosting an internal event in collaboration with Rebus Theatre called Stages of Empathy. This immersive theatre experience explores real-life scenarios of exclusion and inaccessibility. The project is led by actors with disability and funded by the Department of Health, Disability and Ageing. Through this experience, we aim to help the digital teams we work with build a deeper understanding of accessibility and bring greater empathy to the products and services they design every day. We’ll also be creating how-to videos showcasing built-in mobile phone accessibility features to help as many customers as possible shop on the Coles App with ease. From using large text settings to make content easier to read, to voice control that enables hands-free shopping from home, these guides will help customers make the most of accessibility features available on their devices.
